Why Consulting?
Fifteen years ago, I started a construction company. It has always been my desire to provide true craftsmanship with a relational approach. Done Right, not perfect, not every bell and whistle, but well built, long lasting, beautiful and functional buildings. As soon as I started building accessory buildings, I knew I had found my niche. I love the buildings and I connect with the people who want them. My clients are capable, practical, financially conservative homestead builders. They can do it themselves. What they do or buy must make sense. They want to spend as little money as possible although they are willing to pay for quality. The home front is usually the focus of their time and cash expenditures. Here are the main reasons my clients' needs are better met by consulting - see what you think.

• Participation and Control:
• You make and enforce the schedule
• Approve the quality before you pay
• Spend as you see fit
• Do as much or little of the work as you want

• Savings - No contractor mark up. This alone saves between 20 and 30 percent; sometimes more.

• Vendor Network - Preferred subcontractors and suppliers
• All vendors are members of professional industry associations
• Wholesale pricing (more money saved!)
• Years of history with vendor network
• Written agreement to code of ethics that ensures preferred quality, customer service, timeliness and wholesale pricing
• Confirmed bond, license and insurance documentation

• Resources - THE BINDER
• Personalized budget with electronic tracking worksheets
• Proven systems for all aspects of the project
• Pre-orders for vendors - your subs and suppliers already know all about your job before you contact them
• Customized software
• Projected construction schedule

• Coaching - You will have a gifted personal coach who has years of experience in their field. Your coach will listen, help provide solutions and creativity and care about your project as much as you do. They will walk through your job with you step by step.
• Decades of experience in the accessory building industry
• Product, product application and industry knowledge
• Specialized product knowledge (i.e. Automotive, equestrian, woodworking)

Why consulting? Because you can do this yourself, have more fun and spend less money. A Darby Consultant is the key ingredient.
